Day 7: To Travellers Rest Kisoro
Early morning start (7 AM) for a long drive to Kabale for lunch. From here the bad road takes us through a beautiful landscape called the "Switzerland of Africa". We pass mountains, hills and lakes with cultivated terraces, tropical rainforest and bamboo forest.

On the last hill the landscape unfolds beneath us, in the vast plane of Uganda, Rwanda and Congo the Virunga volcanoes dominate the view. Down is Kisoro where we will stay in the famous Travellers Rest Hotel.
Just outside Kisoro, this unique hotel offers a cozy stay for the tourists, who come to see the endangered mountain gorilla. The hotel, built in a somewhat colonial style, and entirely renovated in 1999, has a comfortable ambiance. In the sixties the famous American ‘gorilla-woman’ Dian Fossey visited Hotel Travellers Rest many, many times to do paperwork, to relax or to meet people. Fossey said about the hotel: ,,It was my second home."

Adventure
Uganda is a classic adventure tourism destination. Indeed, Bujagali falls, which lies down stream of the source of the Nile an hour’s drive east of Kampala, is East African counterpart to more southerly ‘adrenaline capitals’ such as Victoria Falls and Cape Town .Bujagali is the launching point for a commercial white-water rafting route that ranks as one of the most thrilling but also one of the safest in the world, passing through three heart-stopping grade five rapids in one day. Other activities at bujagali include Kayaking, mountain biking, quad-biking and a new 44 metre –high bungee jump from a cliff above the Nile. Boasting three separate montane destinations topping the 4,000 metre mark all protected within national parks, Uganda offers some of Africa’s top hiking and climbing possibilities. Serious mountaineers need look no further but than the majestic Rwenzori, whose trio of craggy 5,000-plus metre glacial peaks offers a genuine challenge to experienced alpine climbers, while fit hikers will find the six-day loop trail through the Rwenzori’s forest and moorland zones tot be rewarding as is demanding.
Further east, Mount Elgon , Africa’s eighth- highest mountain offers an excellent and relatively undemanding introduction to Afro-Montane climates and vegetation , culminating in the ascent of a 6km wide volcanic caldera studded with small waterfalls, caves and hot springs . Another estimable hiking destination is the Virunga Mountains, where the mountain gorilla tracking can be supplemented by a tough day ascent to one of the three extinct volcanoes protected within Mgahinga National Park, the tallest of which is the 4,127-metre Muhabura.
